Stockholders' Equity Note [Abstract]  
EQUITY EQUITYCumulative Convertible Perpetual Preference Shares — On March 18, 2022, Bunge announced all issued and outstanding shares of its 4.875% Cumulative Convertible Perpetual Preference Shares ("convertible preference shares") would automatically convert into common shares of the Company, par value $0.01 per share, effective March 23, 2022 (the "Conversion Date"). On March 18, 2022, the closing price of the common shares of the Company on the New York Stock Exchange ("NYSE") was $104.91, marking the 20th trading day in the previous 30 trading days that the closing price of the common shares of the Company exceeded 130% of the conversion price, triggering the Company's right under the certificate of designation for the convertible preference shares, at its option, to mandatorily convert the convertible preference shares. The conversion price adjusted from $78.1322, per Note 24 - Equity included in the Company's 2021 Annual Report on Form 10-K, to $77.8482 on February 16, 2022.
Each convertible preference share automatically converted into 1.2846 common shares of the Company on the Conversion Date and cash was paid in lieu of fractional common shares of the Company. There were 6,898,268 convertible preference shares issued and outstanding prior to the conversion, which resulted in the issuance of 8,861,515 new common shares of the Company. Additionally, in the first quarter of 2022 prior to the conversion, 1,415 convertible preference shares were voluntarily converted by preference shareholders into 1,816 common shares. As a result of the conversions, no convertible preference shares were issued or outstanding as of June 30, 2022, and all rights of the former holders of the convertible preference shares terminated, as of March 23, 2022.
Dividends on the convertible preference shares ceased to accrue on the Conversion Date. Accordingly, holders of the convertible preference shares were not entitled to receive the $1.21875 per share dividend declared by the Company in respect of the convertible preference shares on February 23, 2022 and payable to holders of record on May 15, 2022. Following the conversion, holders of the convertible preference shares as of the Conversion Date were entitled to receive the $0.525 per share dividend declared by the Company with respect to the common shares on February 23, 2022, but only to the extent such holder remained a holder of record of common shares of the Company on May 19, 2022.
Dividends on common shares — On May 12, 2022, Bunge announced that the Company's Board of Directors had declared a dividend of $0.625 per common share, payable on September 2, 2022 to shareholders of record on August 19, 2022. The $0.625 per common share dividend represents a $0.10, or 19%, increase from the Company's previous quarterly cash dividend of $0.525. During the six months ended June 30, 2022, the Company's Board of Directors declared total dividends on common shares of $1.15 per common share.
